A showcase for the groundbreaking choreography and breathtaking talent of Gene Kelly, this 1951 movie won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Kelly plays Jerry Mulligan, a former G.I. who has remained in Paris after the end of WWII trying to make a living as a painter. Alan Jay Lerner's Oscar-winning screenplay involves Jerry in a love triangle with art patron Milo Roberts (Nina Foch) and an alluring, but engaged, perfume clerk (Leslie Caron, in her screen debut). Among the great George Gershwin tunes sung and danced to are "Our Love Is Here to Stay," "I Got Rhythm," "'S Wonderful," "Embraceable You," and the tour-de-force finale: a 17-minute dance sequence choreographed to the Gershwin orchestral piece of the title.
